It's that time of year again. That time when we make plans to do things to better ourselves in the coming year, or forget about them and hope we did them anyways.
How about you folks? Got anything you've been dying to do or thinking you might do?
What I like to do is go through this year's resolutions to see how many I accomplished, if any. So let's see how 2017 turned out. Before I do I must say fuck 2017 in general. This year tried it's best to be the worst.
Hoo boy! I already don't like my chances of coming out ahead here, lol.
1. Unfortunately I gained weight. Losing the activity my job had with this "extended vacation" my boss put me on really hindered it and I did gain weight, but at the very least I didn't gain all of the weight I lost and with the recent walking I've been doing, thanks to getting a free phone and playing Pokemon Go, I think I've lost a few pounds, but in the end it's still a FAIL
2. While I did have the money to get a car I unfortunately didn't get it, and in fact I have most lost all of the money I had for my car, thanks to having to pay rent and buy my own food. Gotta start all over on this one. FAIL
3. The job search has only gotten one offer, which I hopefully will start soon. I will keep looking. TENTATIVE SUCCESS?
4. Hahahahahaha. I think we can all agree my own brand of cynical has turned from slightly more amusing to the mild version of "shut the fuck up!", in terms of being tolerated. FAIL.
5. I don't know why I keep putting this on the list. No sex and with me turning 30 I have officially gained the title of Wizard. Definitely don't foresee sex happening any time soon, or even going on a date. FAIL.
Honestly if my life didn't drastically change, with my step-dad moving out and/or me being put on this "extended vacation" things might have been different, but sometimes life just takes a bat to your knees.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With that I really had to think about what I wanted to accomplish.
1. Finding and keeping a job. Bonus points if I can find one that is better than I thought I could get. This one shouldn't be too hard, right?
-1a. Maybe get into one of my more expensive hobbies and go to a full blown tournament with hundreds of people. Each time I've tried something has happened to stop it, so it would be neat.
-1b. If 1a doesn't happen maybe a small mini vacation? I've never had one myself and maybe it would be neat to go somewhere for a week(end) or something.
2. Finding a job for my youngest brother and him keeping it for at least six months. Yes, I know it's not my responsibility to find him one, but he needs one just as much as I do, if not more.
3. Losing weight. This should be simple if I can get a job that allows me to move around a bit, but if not I might want to invest in a gym membership, or walking/biking (when it gets warmer), and playing Pokemon Go might help too. I'd say getting under 300 would work.
-3a. Bonus points if below 275 and/or able to feel abs, and possibly get a small muscle issue possibly operated on to fix.
4. Car? Seems likely with a job so I guess why not.
-4a. I really want to see what my brother and my 75% blind friend would do behind the wheel if I got one. Might want to get five-point harnesses for when my blind friend gets behind the wheel though.
5. Sex? I don't know why I keep putting it here, but like everyone says "It'll happen" so it's bound to eventually, right?
5a. Hell, why not. I'll put a handicap, if I can get a date this year I'll call it a small victory.
I think this year seems far more realistic than usual, well minus the sex one.
Well no matter what I try and think I can't seem to come up with any others so I guess that's it. Anyone else have any resolutions?
